APPENDIX 1335 



sinuses of the perianth. Ovary 3-5-celled, or 1-celled by abortion, often depressed at 

 the apex. Styles erect. Ovules pendulous. Capsule 3-5-angled, leathery. — Differs 

 from Sesuvium in the few paired stamens. 



1. Galenia secunda Sond. Stem branched at the base, the branches radially 

 spreading, several dm. long, much branched: leaves numerous; blades rhombic, 

 cuneate-obovate or spatulate-obovate, mainly 1-2 cm. long: calyx about 3 mm. long; 

 lobes oblong or lanceolate-oblong, ciliate near the tip and pubescent without: fila- 

 ments shorter than the calyx-lobes. 



In waste places, about Pensacola, Florida. Native of southern Africa. 



Page 416, after TorUdaca halimoides, insert: 



3a. Portulaca phaeosp^rma Urban. Perennial or sometimes annual. Stems 

 diffusely branched, the young parts pubescent: leaves relatively few; blades nearly 

 terete, 4-13 mm. long: flowers mostly solitary: corolla yellow: capsules 3-4 mm. 

 high: seeds over 0.5 mm. broad, brown. — Differs from P. halimoides in the larger 

 and brown seeds. 



In sand, Florida Keys. Also in the West Indies. All year.

Page 447, after TJmlictrum polygamum, add: 



11. Thalictrum per^legans Greene. Similar to T. polygamum in habit, the 

 foliage bright green and glaucous. Stems 1 m. high or more, not widely branched: 

 leaves rather large ; leaflets thinnish, decidedly glaucous and finely pubescent beneath, 

 narrowly obovate to reniform, with three broad apical mucronate lobes: panicle 

 narrow, often very many-flowered, inconspicuously bracted: flowers polygamous: 

 filaments slender-clavate: anthers oval or oblong-oval: achenes elliptic, narrowed at 

 both ends, glabrous, decidedly stipitate, often slenderly so. — Differs from T. polyga- 

 mum in the smaller stamens with their shorter anthers, the short styles and the 

 narrower more-stipitate achenes. 



In woods, mountains of eastern Tennessee. Summer and fall. 



Page 449, after Anona glabra, add: 



2. AnoDa palilstris L. A shrub with spreading branches. Leaf -blades oblong 

 to ovate or oblong-lanceolate, 3-12 cm. long or rarely larger: outer petals 1.5-2 cm. 

 long: filaments 3 mm. long: berry 5-7 cm. long: seeds 9-12 cm. long. — Differs from 

 A. glabra in the flowers which are about one half the size and which have more 

 pointed sepals and petals, the outer petals, too, are much longer than the inner ones. 



In the Everglades, southern peninsular Florida. Also in the West Indies. Spring. 

 Alligator Ai-ple. 



3. Anona squamosa L. A tree with glabrous or nearly glabrous twigs. Lejif- 

 blades mainly oblong or elliptic, varying to oblong-lanceolate, mostly 10-15 cm. 

 long, rather slender petioled: sepals broadly deltoid, about 2 mm. long, acute: outer 

 petals narrowly oblong to linear-lanceolate, 24-28' mm. long: berries ovoid to globose- 

 ovoid, 6-10 cm. long, tuberculate, yellowish green. — Differs from A. glabra and A. 

 palustris in the narrow petals and the tuberculate fruits. 



In hammocks, Florida Keys. Naturalized from tropical America. Sugar Apple. 



SWEET-SOP. 



Page 456, after Nymphaea macrophylla, insert: 



2a. Nymphaea fluvi^tilis Harper. Perennial from rather slender rootstocks. 

 Foliage glabrous: leaves of two kinds, the submerged with membranous crisped sub- 

 orbicular blades 5-10 cm. in diameter: emersed leaves leathery; blades ovate or 

 orbicular-ovate, about twice as large as the submerged ones, the sinuses narrow or 

 closed; petioles terete, greatly elongated: flowers about 3 cm. in diameter: berries 

 green. — Dift'ers from N. macrophylla in the presence of submerged leaves and the 

 relative smaller and more slender parts. 



In creeks, rivers and river-swamps, southern Georgia, Alabama and northern Florida. 

 Spring to fall. 



Page 460, after description of Berberis Swazeyi, insert : 



3. Berberis trifoliol^ta Moric. A rigid much-branched shrub 0.5-2 m. tall, the 

 bark pale. Leaves numerous; leaflets 3, the blades rigid, leathery, oblong to lanceo-
